In this reposting of an August 2018 article, we remember 18-year-old Mike Brown, whose death at the hands of a White police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9, 2014 sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.
Sandra Bland would have celebrated her 32nd birthday in 2019. Instead we sadly remember her untimely death on July 13, 2019. We are revisiting this 2016 interview with Sandra Bland’s mother, Geneva Reed-Veal and former EBONY.com Editor Shantell Jamison.
